Early word on MVP

That was supposed to be one of the Broncosâ€™ biggest question marks, what with Trevor Pryce having been waived to make room under the salary cap. And the question marks got even bigger when Gerard Warren sustained a dislocated toe and Courtney Brown experienced continual knee problems during the preseason.

So what happens?
Warren, instead of getting out of shape as the coaches had feared, loses 10-15 pounds and doesnâ€™t miss a beat. And despite the absence of Brown, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, the D line has been one of the strongest units on the team.

Donâ€™t think for a minute the players and coaches werenâ€™t concerned. John Lynch admitted as much the other day, saying he was nervous going into camp, before the injuries to Warren and Brown.

Say what you will about the Broncosâ€™ linebackers and cornerbacks, who as a unit are arguably the best in the business. The stunning success of the Broncosâ€™ defense â€” one touchdown allowed in four games â€” starts up front.

I’ve been impressed with Patrick Chukwurah (fellow Wyoming Cowboy) thus far. Yes, there was the roughing the kicker mistake in week 1, but when he’s in the game he always seems to be around the ball and in position to make a play.

On pass rushing downs, I notice he always seems to be the closest Bronco to the QB getting hog-tied from behind by an O-lineman.

I can see Patrick developing into a very important contributor to this year’s d-line.

My MVP would defently be the Linebacking corp, particuarly DJ Williams, who has rebounded from last years sophmore slump to play quite well. He may not be on the field for nickel pacakages, but when he has gotten the oppurtunity he has been exceptional.
